And the revised estimate is...

As mentioned earlier in the day, the dealer gave me an estimate of around $300 for the Phaeton's 90K service today. And as expected, that number changed. The revised estimate is...

...$1,133 plus tax! That makes user Smallbear-V8 Coloranyon Pilot our winner with the closest guess of $1,200. Congrats!

A cracked oil filter housing and frozen tie rod added to the total. Thankfully, the rotors still have enough life in them that they don't need to be replaced today.

Also, they won't have the parts until Tuesday.

How does an oil filter housing crack, and why does there need to be one? VW making things complicated for no reason...

Parts have to be brought in from Deutschland! It's what happened to my parent's old VW Eurovan.

That's OK, I like your guess much more than the actual total.

You're always a winner in our book, $kay!

Yeah but no one bought the EuroVan here. Oh wait, no one bought the Phaeton either....

Don't Phaetons get to cut in front of all other customers and always get a loaner? Or was that a myth.

On the plus side you didn't have to collect the erotic cake Jagvar was threatening the winner with.

That's probably a good thing.

Be careful what you wish for, he might actually do it. Erotic cake is fun to say.

Damn! I was close at $1250.

Hmm, I guess Price is Right rules were not in effect! haha

That sucks, sorry.

Oh my, no. I've never been given a loaner. I've been hooked up with Jetta and Golf rentals.

You act like I've seen an erotic cake before.

I assume the $300 was quoted before you told them what kind of car it was.

I've never seen an erotic cake. But I'm not sure that I want to see an erotic cake. If someone were to post pictures of an erotic cake I would feel obligated to look though.

That doesn't sound all that horribly horrible! I'm guessing that if it was a Bentley, the price would be doubled just because it says "Bentley" on it.

Yeah, anything under $1,500 is a win for me, honestly.

Could have been worse, I guess.

Gentle on those brakes!
